Real-Time Object Detection from Surveillance using Deep Learning
A Tanisha, N Tanisha, M Chaitra, Tejasri PR · 2025
Object detection in surveillance systems leverages advanced deep learning techniques to enhance security measures through real-time analysis of dynamic video feeds. This project integrates the YOLOv5 model for detecting weapons in both pre-recorded videos and live camera feeds. The model, trained on a dataset with 4000 images labeled for handguns and knives, utilizes image preprocessing steps such as resizing, normalization, and augmentation to improve detection accuracy. Implementing the system with OpenCV and Tkinter, the application processes video streams, identifying potential threats with high precision rate of 0.85 and recall rate of 0.90. The integration of a graphical user interface ensures user-friendly operation for security personnel. Key outcomes demonstrate the efficacy of deep learning models in real-time object detection, significantly contributing to proactive surveillance and enhanced situational awareness.
